Do you mean stain glass windows ?BBR as a man in the know - not wanting to put you or your colleagues out of a job but how would you recommend cleaning picture windows - have tried various concoctions but all seem to leave a smeary residue and when sunny you really see the staining - inside and out is the same ?
Okay I now know what you mean ? I have cleaned many of these. I reccomend using warm water, put in some vinegar, honestly it works, use a squeegee if you have one, if not use a good clean cloth, and wipe from left to right along from top to bottom. Don't soak the glass with too much water, leave to dry for a minute or two, then go over with a dry cloth. Don't do it on a hot sunny day as it leaves smears.BBR as a man in the know - not wanting to put you or your colleagues out of a job but how would you recommend cleaning picture windows - have tried various concoctions but all seem to leave a smeary residue and when sunny you really see the staining - inside and out is the same ?

Stained glass windows are a pain to clean, pardon the pun. I just use a dry cloth slightly damp, and that's it.I was once told (if you mean stained class windows) that you have to clean them with a dry cloth otherwise you pull minerals of the lead and it leaves residue on the glass. Seems to backup what you’re saying.
People make the mistake when cleaning their Windows by soaking a cloth with the water , you need the cloth to be wet obviously, but wring it out so it is just slightly damp. But the sun is the enemy as it brings out smears on the outside, so clean inside first is my tip.Thanks - will try - not stained glass but big sliding door windows - i think maybe a squeegee would help and as you say buffing with a dry cloth could be the key - when its sunny our garden looks like a building site from the kitchen
Another chap was supposed to be a hard man with a reputation and he said he was in between jobs, and wanted some casual work. He was a big lad and looked tough and i also had some gardening work on so said okay. He lasted one day. Couldn't work at heights, couldn't clean windows properly, and he kept asking customers for tea, you never do that, you wait for them to ask you. As big as he was I told him he wasn't up to the job and gave him a few quid. He said fair enough and went.I can understand that - ma y things that look simple are so from years of experience - some of the snowflakes would struggle with shelf stacking which in the face of it you couldn’t do with your eyes shut
Bet we've all had a job we thought would be easy to do ? I did some voluntary work as an adult literacy assistant in a community centre. Only a small group and really relaxed no pressure. Anyway I must have done okay as I was told to take a class at another centre as the tutor was off sick. Easy I thought. I went and was shown where I'd be taking the class, and I walked into a large room full of students, who sat in total silence looking at me as I was introduced to them all. For some reason I got nervous/ anxious and felt like walking out. How I got through the hour session was a miracle as I was a wreck.Least he told the truth
Today I asked customers not to put liquid in the water in the bucket, put in vinegar instead. After cleaning the windows they definitely had a sparkle and the customers said its vinegar every time from now on. An elderly lady told me about vinegar, its versatile, and not just for putting on chips !BBR as a man in the know - not wanting to put you or your colleagues out of a job but how would you recommend cleaning picture windows - have tried various concoctions but all seem to leave a smeary residue and when sunny you really see the staining - inside and out is the same ?
